    I was having that dream where I’m back at school except that I was at one of the many technical schools I attended when I was in the military. It was the first day of school and according to the calendar I was expected to show up in my dress blue uniform, but all I Read.

    The ability to dream is so amazingly wonderful and yet at the same time so soul-crushingly cruel. Read.

    I woke up this morning from a dream in which a doctor was telling me, “We’ll have to remove your eyeballs. Can you come in this afternoon?” And I was like, “Uhh, can I have just a moment to absorb this please?” Then I woke up and, because it was five o’clock in the morning Read.

    My Darling B woke me with a shriek this morning. Well, not exactly a shriek but a pretty scary and not very quiet shout. She usually makes quiet little whimpering noises when she’s having a bad dream, but this was not a whimper. This was a full-throated cry for help. Scared the shit out of Read.

    You want to know what’s been stuck in my head on a loop all morning? Probably not, but I’m going to answer that rhetorical question anyway: person woman man camera TV I went paddling on the lake this morning. I put in early, before all the bleepheads started roaring around in their power boats, so Read.

    Woke up from a dream this morning in which I was taking turns driving a truck. I was supposed to be off-duty, catching some sack time in the back, but the guy driving the truck needed help navigating, so I grabbed a cup of coffee and joined him in the cab with a map. The Read.
